Kane makes history as England beat Italy

Harry Kane broke England’s all-time goalscoring record with his 54th international goal in Thursday’s tight 2-1 win against Italy which kicked off his team’s Euro 24 qualifying campaign in positive style. Gareth Southgate’s side were already a goal ahead through Declan Rice when captain Kane stroked home a 44th-minute penalty to overtake Wayne Rooney and help England to a handy Group C win in Naples over the European champions. Mateo Retegui netted the Italians’ goal on the Argentina-born striker’s debut for his new country 10 minutes after the break, but despite late pressure and Luke Shaw being sent off with 10 minutes left, the Azzurri couldn’t snatch a point in a repeat of the Euro 2020 final.
